Does the player charge while it is in use, or does it have to be turned off?

I mailed this player to my two grandsons so I'm not there for the most part when they use it. But my recollection, from my two other grandsons, is that it can be charged while in use. I hope my answer helps somewhat. Bottom line, they love it and use it often.

I checked the manual and it states battery can only recharge when power off state and continuos power supply, the red light will be on and the light will turn yellow when fully charged I turn it off when using power cord. also when not in use do not have power cord pluged in this helps to keep battery healthy, if need more info I will be glad to answer. it is a great unit I am 69 and I use it in bed and very portablity

No....it charges only when led is alight and concludes whern led turns green. That excludes led alight while unit is in play.

I believe it charges while in use, but I rarely use it without having it plugged in.

It does charge but many of the CD's dont even work in this player. I would suggest to go to store see and then buy.

We have left it on and charged while at airport and it did charge from what I can tell.

My unit has never done that. I know some players have a feature that will turn the unit off after a period of inactivity but that can be changed in the settings. I've never had this Blu-Ray player turn on by itself so I'm not sure about that part. Either there is a glitch in the player's computer.... or the machine is haunted. If so, call those ghost hunter guys. They won't accomplish anything but you'll get to be on television.

I would say it has to be switched off, plug in USB then turn it on. Ours is particular because I plug ours in to a wall recharger to keep it running all night and we have to start it playing first and then plug it in. While ours are still working, they are particular about how they work.

Yes, when plugged in it plays until you turn it off. When on battery it plays until you turn it off or the batteries run down.

It will automatically turn off after a few minutes of not being in use. I have had mine for a few years and use it often. I just put a new battery in it a few weeks ago. Such a handy little gadget. Wish it could add the putts separately, but what more can you expect when it also adds your score. :-)

Yes I just now tested this by deliberately allowing the battery to run down low enough to cause an automatic power down of the player. When I plugged it back in to charge it back up, I found that the clock hadn't lost its time, and the radio stations were still stored. Clearly the player shuts down with enough power to maintain the settings when the battery gets critically low.

If you turn the power off completely, it will be fine for whenever you play next, which is what I do. However, if you leave it in "clock" mode or use it for walking, it will continue to use battery.

When you charge the device, it will be automatically turned off...you have to reconnect it after it is being charged!

Mine takes a long time to come to a full charge. Several hours. So as a matter of course, I usually leave it plugged in and charging, until I want to take it somewhere untethered. It does provide a long play time (8-12 hrs). Although that time seems about the same, whether it's playing, or just in standby mode, switched off. Which is why I leave it plugged in/charging.

Don't hold me to this , but maybe 5/6 hours depending on how much of a charge the player you're using it has left on it. The player will constantly draw from the Fostex if it is used in DAC /amp mode rather than just amp mode (the 30 pin to USB cable thinks it's seeing a charger even when the player/Fostex are both off. Just a trickle charge but it is constant. Unplug the cable when not in use (i let it dangle from the player; it's a short cable) & I try to give the iPod a short charge before I hook back-up.

I have only done this with the transmitter set up to charge while playing and didn't notice any hum being picked up. I did have it charging off a plug-in adapter (versus being connected to a computer USB port). Just as a consideration, if this is how you intend to use the system on occasion, you might want to purchase higher amperage plug-in USB chargers ...most computer USB's put out very low amperage and if your using the system while it's charging there might not be enough amperage to do both (power the transmitter and charge the battery). Of the two components, the transmitter uses the most power and its power cell exhausts before the receivers.

You need to charge separately. I will play while simultaneously connected to electricity to charge

I have never used the off button, and the keyboard has functioned for months, so....I do not think it has to be turned off or on to charge.

Once you press STOP, the player's laser returns to the disc's starting point and turns off. It does not resume from where you left off. You must use PAUSE and PLAY to do that which of course discharges your batteries.

This one does not charge your player. I've had an older Monster on that did. It got old and abused and broke over time. This one won't charge it.

Dear Jeffrey, When the speaker is charging, the Red LED light will be on. After the battery was fully charged, the LED light will be turned off. Thanks.

No, I don't think it will. There is a switch on it that must be in the "Charge" position for the player to charge. I have found that the player charges pretty quickly though, then the switch must be moved to the "Play" position.
